The French provided air superiority. The Chad infantry had anti-tank missiles and knew the terrain.

Not really because The Ussr was a federal state like the US

>>3186346
no, the satellite states had practically no autonomy, to the point where revolts were violently repressed by military sent by the ussr. the modern eu countries outside of germany are fully autonomous and only comply to eu guidelines out of free will, not out of forced compliance.

>>3186366

So it was more similar to the US in terms of each country being in place of the states? For example, when George Wallace said he wouldn't comply with desegregation of schools and JFK sent the national guard to force him to?

"I hate krauts who disagree with me but I hate other countries even more."

t. Otto Von Bismarck

He was pretty good. His only fault was not securing his heritage enough so Willy 2 fucked it all up.

Kulturkampf as well

feels bad, I used to get extremely depressed over this in my teens, but when people would ask my why im sad i couldnt really say anything cause they would think i was weird or something

Pretty good since I won't be burned at the stake for using my brains in a critical manner or shit my innards out due to numerous diseases that no one can do anything about.

joke's on you, OP. i'm a graduate student in an American university. i get to embody medieval life better than anyone else now living.

Keeping people out. Invasion is harder than an escape.

Walls are used to:

1) force an opponent to meet your army on your terms. Siege warfare is time consuming in all cases and risky unless you're assured victory. Even if that victory comes, you pay with blood and important supplies that cannot be replaced. If the enemy commits to such an act, their mobility is limited and you can plan freely to destroy them.

2) prevent raids. A small group of fighters can do considerable damage to the unprepared. A wall helps mitigate the speed at which a raider can affect this damage. Aurelians walls are a good example of them. The Rhine or Danube can be crossed, but how can 1000 men loot a fortress of 10,000 behind a sturdy wall?

3)reduce enemy logistics. An invading force will, of course, overcome any obstacle to achieve their wargoal unless resisted. A wall does not resist, but rather restrict. Hadrians wall is a good example. It restricted movement from the north, so Picts couldn't do more than small raids. Getting over a wall is no problem, until you need to get the horse, it's food, and the supplies it's carrying over before someone raises an alarm.

4) psychological warfare. Everyone knows what a wall is, only a few can build a mighty wall. This alone is enough to dissuade attack. The theodosian walls of Constantinople were impossible to breach partly because no one had ever done so in 1000 years. It took the largest cannon ever built to do so, after every other part of the empire collapsed. Walls such as these are legendary to the point where the legend has real effect on morale.

Lincoln's assassination.

There weren't really any other US politicians either brave (or stupid) enough to achieve cooperation like Lincoln was willing to do. Even though the CSA lost the war, it did not remove the southern aristocratic lifestyle that had been engrained in southerners since the 1660s. Lincoln was adamant about working together to rebuild the nation, to forgive and move forward. Well, his ass became grass and no one stepped up to carry the torch. Grant became maybe the worst president we ever had, the south immediately enacted Jim Crow laws and the nation stayed separated, not in terms of nations but in idealism.

The only way we were gonna be able to unite the nation was through cooperation and healing. In the end, the south kept fucking blacks and the north continued to not give a fuck.
